191: Vampire God (1)

Chapter 191: Vampire God (1)

—

After entering the dungeon, Neji had a hard time because of the weird time flow between here and Earth that he was experiencing through his Bees.

However, once he started using «Overclock», he soon managed to regain his composure.

He then greeted the worried Mursha and Slaassee, who were on the floor, looking at him like horny dogs, clearly being affected by his Predator perk.

Sighing, he ordered them to get out as they were forced to leave, confused and disappointed, while Neji went to his work.

He took out the dead bodies of Izuku, Nine, Hisashi, All-for-One and Nawab.

Hisashi was the only one missing his head. The others looked quite fine, having received a Health Potion to heal all their bodily wounds.

"What are you going to do with them?"

"Erase their existence."

Neji answered Kurai as he crouched down beside the dead bodies.

He's been carrying dead bodies for a while now, and he didn't like the feeling. So, he was going to clear up most of his stock here.

Kurogiri, the Nomus, and lots of other villains that he killed before, their dead bodies remained on Earth as he believed their bodies wouldn't cause any problems. However, these five people were closely related to the WoW, which made him not leave their bodies there, and also made him reconsider if he wanted to destroy the bodies there.

That's why he was here, inside the Tower, his own domain, where he had no fear. Now, he could freely obliterate these weight bags.

Puffing out a small breath, Neji channelled lightning on two of his fingers and touched Nawab's head, watching as the lightning blitzed for a long second and vaporised the body of its previous user.

Then, in quick succession, Neji did the same with the other four bodies,  one after another.

His shoulders suddenly felt light, making him shrug.

Now, his inventory only held his and Momo's parents' dead bodies, who he didn't want to bury in a world that would soon be destroyed. He would rather bury them inside the Tower. After he would conquer this entire continent and take over the biggest residential region of this place, the "Great Empire", he would have quite some royal land to bury them in. 

Oh, the Great Empire was also most certainly the place where the tower's Divine Being should be.

In fact, many of the current Empress' feats he heard from the Ogre and Mursha, seemed too strong for a mortal. If he were to bet, that's the person he would throw the money at.

"...So what do we do now?" As Neji jumped out of the basement, having erased his enemies' dead bodies, he heard Kurai ask. "Do we start hunting the Boss monsters immediately? Or do we take it slow? Perhaps letting mama and the… aunties fight the Bosses would boost their battle prowess?"

"No." Neji immediately rejected, as he walked downstairs to the throne room. "That's a waste of time."

"But- isn't it, like, better to give them a taste of actual real danger before they face the Gods?"

"That's if they face the Gods."

"Huh?"

Neji didn't answer the cat's confused yelp and instead started to take out the bodies of his harem, his only family left.

"You think they'd be of any help against these Gods? They couldn't even fight against Nawab's little subordinate. They're too weak, and they don't have the luxury of our growth speed either."

Neji explained as Kurai stayed silent. 

He took out a paper and pen and wrote a note, before putting four Tier potions on top of the note.

Three of the potions were normal Tier potions, while one of them was a Special Tier potion. The Note explained that Rumi should take the special Tier potion first, and then one of the normal ones. At the same time, Nejire should take both of the two tier potions left. 

After writing that, he walked out of the house with Kurai on his shoulders, coming face to face with Mursha.

"Listen, I will be gone for a while, look after the people inside. There are five of them this time, all of them are my 'wifes' and there is no hierarchy between them... Though if things come down to anything weird, listen to what Kimi says."

"Ah, alright, understood." Mursha nodded, slightly impressed that her liege returned with new partners every time he went back.

The clothes she was wearing were new, though still made of fur. But it was the fur of a Saber Tooth tiger, granting a sturdier and more beautiful fur than her previous one. She looked clean now, a well-shaped ball of attractive muscles.

"It might take me a few hours, and even a few days, I am not sure. If you hear about destruction, massacre and stuff like that, keep in mind it's most likely me." He said, watching as Mursha's eyes shook. 

Ignoring her reaction, he walked past her, patting her shoulders 

"Be ready though. When I return, you'll have to take care of all the remaining monsters of this world as the Queen of the Monster Faction."

"Uh-"

"See you soon."

Mursha stood still, incapable to comprehend his words, as he kicked the ground, vanishing from her sight into the night sky.

—★—

"What the hell is happening?!"

"The world has been shaking every day now!"

"But isn't it a bit too much today?!"

"Is this the end of the world?!"

The people of the central-most kingdom of this world, the Great Empire, were freaking out. The marketplace was more chaotic than ever.

"G-god! Save us!"

The reason for their fearful screams was very understandable, though.

After all, who would ever expect the world to shake in this manner?

-Boom!

There it was, the rumble that came from every direction.

"D-don't tell me, is it the outer gods from the legends?!"

"Oy, watch your mouth! You'd get us killed if the royal army hears-"

The bald shopkeeper that yelled was interrupted, realising his warning was meaningless, watching as the skinny man he tried to warn died by having his head burst like a watermelon, without anyone attacking him.

Heavenly Judgement.

That was heaven's judgement for saying the name of the Outers. The Empress had punished the fool!

The man gulped, which created a domino effect making everyone in the market gulp as well, turning their gaze away from the dead body as they continued nervously clearing the area.

In the meantime, The Empress looked down at the scene, her Divine eyes looking down on the world even though she was in her palace at this moment, kilometres away from here.

"The outer Gods…"

Sitting in her throne, the little girl with blonde hair whispered, her red eyes gleaming softly.

"It does seem people still remember those bastards, sadly."

She shook her head, her expression passive as she tried to look at the real cause of the current situation at hand.

But she failed to do so.

The System was restricting her, forcing her to obey the rules of the "Game". As she was the boss of the 10th-floor, she shouldn't be able to interfere with the Gamer before he reached the 10th Floor, which was this Empire. That's why her [Divine Gaze] was restricted to only this floor, the reason why she couldn't gain any information on the Gamer. 

However, she could at least confirm that the Gamer was a High Human, an extinct species that shouldn't be in this world anymore, but then again, the System had no limitation on what it can do.

She found herself in this world around 900 years ago, getting sucked in by a spatial crack that sent her here from the dungeon she was locked in by her uncle. It seemed the fight of the Outer-Gods created a spatial crack that brought her here.

She saw the world burn for a whole year before she made the first High Human using her magic. The 50 high humans she made conquered the world, forcing the Gods to flee, though most of the High Humans had died at that point. The five that were alive though, got married with the other races and formed the Five Kingdoms of this continent, each Kingdom as big as a continent of her old world, Earth of the True World Astral.

While the High Humans ruled over the world, she, the Grand Vampire Witch, took shelter within the great forest. She didn't want the five high humans to take her as a threat, as her uncle did, and imprison her again. So, she gladly stayed out of their business for half a millennia before she was pursued by the last High Human, on his deathbed, to look after the Kingdoms and keep them safe from the monsters and civil wars.

That's what she's been doing until now because she had no other purpose in this world. That's why, even as she felt her death come closer, clearing Floors one by one, she didn't feel any anxiousness, any regret… she just felt empty, slightly relieved even, now that all these worries would be off her shoulders.

"Mhmm… Peace is very close."

The loli vampire muttered to herself. She was going to be free. Finally, eternal peace was coming.

However,

She wasn't an easy opponent.

She wouldn't just let him kill her.

Rather, she would give her all to keep her promise of protecting these lands. Because she wasn't a person who breaks promises.

"Mhm, looks like he is on the 9th plane already, I can slightly sense his presence."

—★—

It's been 3 days since he entered the dungeon.

Neji wasn't having a hard time at all. The only reason it took him three days was that he had to fight the mobs too before going against the Boss monsters.

This was like moving with the breeze, if anything.

The System always adjusted the Boss monsters' levels according to his [Level], however, it never considered his Quirks, which easily threw the power balance between him and the Bosses of each floor.

The 3rd-floor boss was the Black Tortoise, one of the four directional beasts.

It was an easy hunt, the sound of the shell breaking was quite pleasing to hear.

The 4th-floor boss was the Azure Dragon, which although wasn't as easy as the Tortoise, it was still fun.

Before the 5th floor began, he received a notification.

[The Boss Monster you kill from now on would stay killed, as they have their own minds, unlike the first four Bosses. So, please decide carefully if you want to clear the floor by killing the Boss, or just negotiate with them for the Save Stone.]

He wasn't going to negotiate. He needed both Exp and the loot they dropped. He already gained 25 levels from just these two monsters!

Next, the 5th-floor was located outside the forest, under the surface of the kingdoms. It was a huuuge underground city.

There, he finally found the race of people he was looking forward to.

Elves.

Beautiful, gorgeous elves.

Not just the classic Elves and Dark Elves either, but something new such as Brown Elves as well, who were just as beautiful as the other two.

He even searched for Asian Elves for a few minutes before giving up.

Anyhow, after killing the three Kings of the three elf races, he fought the boss of the 6th Floor, a Dryad connected to the World Tree.

Unfortunately, he wasn't in the mood to play around, or he would have gotten "seduced" by that beautiful, red headed and green-skinned milf tree spirit with seductive lips, fair and soft skin and a bountiful large chest before killing her.

After that were the 7th and 8th Floors, which were in fact just two of the Directional Kingdoms of this continent. The bosses were the Rulers of these Kingdoms, one King and one Queen. He had to slaughter them both.

On the 9th floor were the other two Directional Kingdoms, both considered one floor, and Neji understood why when the Bosses "Merged" using a magic spell, though it seemed very lacking compared to "Fusion" as they transformed into a tentacle monster, which seemed weird because the people who merged were Demi-Wolf Milf and Demi-Lion Milf.

Either way, after slaughtering them as well, he was finally prepared to enter the highest floor, the Great Kingdom that was circled by the four directional kingdoms.

By now, Neji was Level-587. His stats were skyrocketing.

===

He looked strong. Very strong. But not strong enough.

He had 2120 stat points, because now not only did he gain 2+ on every stat on each level-up, and 10-allocatable-stat points as well. However, he wasn't putting them all in Luck because he needed a backup in case the Divine Being was bullshit-level powerful.

He was prepared now.

Prepared for the final battle of this dungeon.

So, he stepped forward, walking inside the border of the Great Kingdom-

"...!"

Immediately, he felt a presence. A Regal and divine presence that could only be best described with the word- Divine.

Neji simply smiled.
